Your ISU Reading Journals are due March 3rd. That's less than 2 weeks away. You should be almost finished reading your novel by now. If you aren't, you are behind. I'm not giving you much homework right now because I expect you to be reading for about 1/2 an hour every night. You should also have about half of the rough work done for your journals. You need to be taking notes as you read along. What do you find interesting? Signficant?
Today, we did Mortal Syntax and Grammar Review pg 52. Your test is on Monday and I'll post some extra review work on Friday.
I handed out your Persuasive Essay Assignment. It is due Friday, February 27 - one week from tomorrow.!!!
In class, you also reassembled into your expert groups to review what you learned yesterday, and worked on applying some of you new ideas to a fresh interpretation of "The Lady of Shalott". You needed to develop a thesis on your own and to provide appropriate evidence to support your interpretation.
Tomorrow will be an Independent Novel Study reading period.
